FAQ

Do you accept insurance for counseling?

We do not participate in any insurance networks, and our practice is fee-for-service.

However most insurance companies provide out of network benefits (OON). If you choose to use insurance for counseling, we will provide you an invoice that you can submit for reimbursement.  Many clients who use their out of network benefits, get reimbursed 50-80% of the counseling fee. Another option is to use a Health or Flex Spending Account which may cover some or all of your expenses (see more info below).  Please contact your insurance company and inquire about your Out of Network Benefits and any deductibles.  Please note that billing your insurance requires a diagnosis on the claim, and some people prefer not have that in their files.

The goal of counseling is to improve your life, and the benefits are improved relationships, health, and overall well-being.
